Chap. 90.—An ACT to Amend and Re-enact Section 2 of an Act entitled an
Act to Regulate Judicial Sales and Prevent the Sacrifice of Property.

Approved March 4, 1871.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That section two
of an act entitled an act to regulate judicial sales and prevent
the sacrifice of property, be amended and re-enacted so as to
read as follows:

‘““§ 2. No commissioner of any such judicial sale of real es-
tate as is mentioned in the preceding section, shall, either at
the first or second exposure of such real estate to sale, sell the
same for Jess than three-fourths of its assessed value, as ascer-
tained by the last official assessment made for the purposes of
taxation: provided, however, that the party whose property is
to be sold, may, by his consent, expressed in writing, waive
the benefit of this section, and permit the property to be sold
free from the restriction hereby imposed. The said commis-
sioner shall return, with his report of sale, an official copy of
said assessed value of said real estate; but where the party
whose land is to be sold shall have given his written consent
to waive the benefit of this section, the said commissioner shall
file, with his report, the written consent, in lieu of the said copy
of the said assessed value. Subject to these restrictions, the
powers and duties of the commissioner and court shall remain
as they now are.”

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
